"A small, clean market a few blocks from the original Sidewalk Juice opened at 3186 21st Street last Saturday as a CBD-focused outgrowth of the juice-bar mini-chain, selling chocolates, tinctures, and oils made with hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD). So far the best sellers are brightly colored CBD gummies in a variety of flavors and shapes made by JustCBD, and the shop carries a wide array of hemp-derived products — bath bombs, foot scrubs, CBD coffee, and Sidewalk’s own line of CBD dark chocolate raisins — reflecting CBD’s sudden ubiquity as a touted anti-inflammatory and pain remedy (though the benefits aren’t well researched). The owners say they plan eventually to merge the juice and CBD offerings so you could get a smoothie or green energy juice with CBD, but for now they opened a separate retail store. Unlike a cannabis club, Sidewalk Wellness is a typical walk-in shop (no sign-in), and because it only sells hemp-derived CBD it can’t offer cannabis-derived CBD or products with THC, but it can sell items pot shops cannot, like CBD coffee." - Caleb Pershan
